Is it possible for a financial year to end before a fiscal year ? Shouldn’t it have been Q1 2018 ?
Good morning, Mr Lion.
Yes, it is indeed possible for a company’s fiscal year-end to differ from the typical calendar year; that is January 1st-December 31st.
This is because the fiscal year-end is “the period used for calculating annual financial statements… may not close on December 31 due to the nature of a company’s needs.”
That said, the Guinness Nigeria Plc financial report you just read is not for Q1 2018. It is for Q1 2019 just as the report said.
Thank you and have a great day.
